Need help accessing "Course Materials"

Hi, I’m new here trying to look at the course materials for APCSP. I went through the process to get verified as an educator on GitHub and on GitHub you can see this was approved. However, when I click “Course Materials Download” it says “GitHub Teacher Verification Failed”. Any advice?

First, make sure that the account you’re signed in with is the same account attached to your verified educator account (using a different primary account is the main reason people may not be able to get in.) Then, try refreshing the page or opening in a private browsing window. If neither of those help, please respond to this message and we’ll see what we can do!

Yes, I am signing in with the same account and have tried private windows and different browsers. My coworker is experiencing the same issues. In both cases we were verified recently.

Hi Kiki; Is there a way to upload any image( for example a images like a half court basketball court) or a basketball to the Gallery? In the Arcade Makecode “Tutorials”; there is a “Free Throw” game that instructs on how to code the game. The first instruction is to set the background image block in the start block. Then, click the empty grey box in the background block to draw a basketball court OR switch to the gallery to pick the one that we created.
There is not a basketball court in the gallery. I appreciate your time.

I am also in the same situation. I am a verified GitHub educator but cannot access the curriculum for the “Intro to CS with MakeCode”. I was able to download the AP CS principles course. When I click on this link " https://aka.ms/TEALSintroCS" it takes me to a page that says that I am not a verified educator.

Can you please send an email to makecode at microsoft.com with your github ID? We will investigate.

Hi, same problem. I am verified from what I can see but getting no access, and I am using the right login/account and the GitHub link gives me a 404, and I am logged in. Thanks.

I sent an an email one week ago but as far as I know no one has looked into this.

Hi! Can you please add me, too? I have been verified by GitHub as an educator. I was able to access the AP CSP, but not Intro to CS neither via the link nor directly.

Hi everyone,

I’m having a hard time accessing the course material. I became a verified Educator on GitHub last year, and I just checked that it’s still active. Every time I click on download course material or try to open the GitHub repository, I am redirected to the “make sure you’re a verified educator” page. I would appreciate any insight anyone can give me

I am also having this issue where I was verified last year and was able to access the Intro to CS course materials on GitHub but now it is saying I am not a verified educator and can’t.
